Re: first version of RC2 has problems with lack of dynamic libraries at least on the Mac

Hi
After installing the first version of RC2 I ran into the following problem
cabal install vector Resolving dependencies... Configuring vector-0.10.9.1... ... [ 5 of 19] Compiling Data.Vector.Fusion.Stream.Monadic ( Data/Vector/Fusion/Stream/Monadic.hs, dist/build/Data/Vector/Fusion/Stream/Monadic.o ) Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done. Loading package base ... linking ... done.

There seems to be a general problem that the install did not produce any dynamic libraries at least on the Mac:

There is certainly a dylib available for both of these libraries.
You're going to need to be very explicit in what you did to install
GHC, and how. (Did you use the binary distribution I pulled from the
server?)* Unfortunately I'm about to run out the door, and don't have
time for the next few hours closely investigate.
* On another note, I will say that there is not an 'RC2' until I
announce that it is so, to be completely honest. Right this second,
some last minute fixes went into HEAD which will be merged for the
actual RC2. Otherwise I would have released it today. But thank you
for testing anyway!

Probably my error, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a problem that
was missed. Thanks for checking. Sorry for any confusion I caused.
Here are the details of what I did:
I took ghc-7.8.0.20140226-x86_64-apple-darwin-mavericks.tar.bz2 from
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/7.8.1-rc2/ and followed the instructions in
the INSTALL file to install it, i.e.
One possible difference is that my gcc is gcc-4.8 from gnu not gcc from
Apple.
Also my uname output is different than yours:
uname -a
Darwin iMac27-5.local 13.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 13.1.0: Thu Jan 16
19:40:37 PST 2014; root:xnu-2422.90.20~2/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
Finally I am running XCode 5.2
Is there a to uninstall or clean these RCs?
I'll wait for official notice before trying anything else
I really appreciate all your work and I'm sorry if I caused you any
unnecessary work. I had no problems installing RC1 so may have been
overconfident

Thanks. Another question is what version of Cabal you are using, as it
knows how to build dylibs properly. I'm using cabal 1.18.
To delete the RC, you can just delete the directory it installed into (the
GHC-7.8.xxxxx folder). Also make sure you remove the executables from $PATH
And no worries about any unnecessary work. I'm here to do the release after
all, and feedback is helpful!

you need cabal-install 1.18 or you'll be sad.
On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 9:16 PM, George Colpitts
I'm using Cabal-1.18.1.3 and cabal-install version 1.16.0.2

To delete the RC, you can just delete the directory it installed into (the GHC-7.8.xxxxx folder). Also make sure you remove the executables from $PATH
And no worries about any unnecessary work. I'm here to do the release after all, and feedback is helpful!

I just committed this release note info to the users guide.
Hopefully nobody else will trip over it. :)

Thanks George. Since this might be confusing for users, I'll add a note to to the release notes about requiring Cabal 1.18 for GHC to work properly.

wrote: Thanks. Another question is what version of Cabal you are using, as it knows how to build dylibs properly. I'm using cabal 1.18.
To delete the RC, you can just delete the directory it installed into (the GHC-7.8.xxxxx folder). Also make sure you remove the executables from $PATH
And no worries about any unnecessary work. I'm here to do the release after all, and feedback is helpful!
